Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Formula SunSport line represents a distinctive crossover segment within Formula's boat offerings, blending the performance characteristics of sport boats with the comfort and amenities typical of cruising vessels. Designed exclusively by John Adams, who has been with Formula for 36 years, the SunSport series has evolved over 15 years to meet the needs of day boaters seeking both style and functionality. The 2009 lineup includes the recently launched 270 Bow Rider, which was well received at the dealer meeting, alongside models ranging from 24 to 35 feet in length.

Exterior Design and Cockpit Features

A defining characteristic of the SunSport line is its flush, expansive cockpit designed to maximize usable space and social interaction. The cockpit is maintained on a single level, allowing all occupants—whether at the helm, aft seating, or convertible sun lounge—to engage comfortably without elevation changes. Unique to the newer models is a convertible aft lounge that transforms from a traditional wraparound seating arrangement into a European-style sun pad, enhancing versatility. The boats also feature large swim platforms and optional wet bars or additional seating to accommodate various day boating preferences. The double helm seat and centerline-facing port seat further promote a social atmosphere, ensuring the operator is part of the group.

Interior Living Spaces and Amenities

While emphasizing day boating, the SunSport line also offers overnight accommodations in larger models starting from the 260 SunSport upwards. Interiors are crafted with high-quality materials consistent across the Formula range, including ultra-leather upholstery and finely detailed cabinetry. The 310 and 350 models feature galleys with high-gloss cherry finishes, stainless steel refrigerators and sinks, Corian countertops, and microwaves, reflecting the level of finish found in larger cruising yachts. The cabins are equipped with modern conveniences such as flat-screen LCD TVs, enhancing comfort for extended stays.

Craftsmanship and Electronics

Formula places a strong emphasis on handcrafted details, particularly in upholstery, where meticulous top stitching and French seams are executed by skilled artisans. The fit and finish of cabinetry, dash panels, and instrumentation reflect a commitment to precision and quality that distinguishes the SunSport line from mass-produced boats. Technological integration has advanced significantly, with options such as GPS units integrated into the dash even on smaller models like the 240. Entertainment systems include high-end stereo components with tweeters and subwoofers, MP3 and iPod compatibility, and widescreen televisions, catering to modern boating lifestyles.

Design Evolution and Market Positioning

The SunSport line is carefully sized to balance cockpit space and onboard amenities, starting at 24 feet to ensure sufficient seating and features for day boating, and capping at 35 feet before transitioning into the larger SuperSport series. The design philosophy centers on creating an inviting, social environment on the water, with a focus on comfort and usability. In 2009, Formula introduced new graphics and color schemes, including Caribbean blue, tropical red, and Mystic Slate, complemented by designer interior packages from Ralph Lauren and Tommy Bahama. These collaborations enhance the brand's appeal by aligning boat aesthetics with lifestyle preferences.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, the SunSport line is expected to maintain its core design principles centered on maximizing cockpit utility and day boating enjoyment. While Formula remains attentive to emerging trends in electronics, entertainment, and styling, the fundamental approach to the SunSport and Bow Rider models is well established. Continued refinement in graphics, color options, and onboard amenities will ensure the line remains competitive and appealing to its target market.
